Re: The story behind Dustin Wolf’s viral stick handoff to emotional 10-year-old fan — Daniel Gonzalez, April 15

Letters: A salute to Calgary Flames goalie Dustin Wolf's 'class act' Back to video

Sorry Connor, Sid, Macklin, Cole et al, but the video of Calgary Flames goalie Dustin Wolf giving his CCM stick to the 10-year-old boy in the stands, and the latter’s reaction, is THE best thing seen on any hockey broadcast in memory.

Stanley Cups will come and go, but that poignant moment is, and will remain, unforgettable — so much so, that it should be on permanent view in Canada’s Hockey Hall Of Fame.

With one toss of a goalie stick, Dustin Wolf timelessly touched the heart of every Canadian kid, from five to 105, who ever donned that magic jersey to pass a cold winter’s day outdoors in the land of imagination, dreaming the Canadian dream.

We dreamers don’t get to choose the NHL’s Most Valuable Player award. Yet none can dispute that Dustin Wolf just skated away with the NHL’s “Class Act of 2026” honours.

Campaign workers backstabbed by floor-crossers

Re: Why the Liberals may pay a price for the party’s increasingly big tent — Simon Tuck, April 18

Since five MPs have crossed the floor to join the Liberals and enabled Mark Carney’s majority, some media pundits have suggested that the floor-crossers were doing so in the best interests of their constituents, that they did so after much soul-searching, and that voters cast their ballots for the individual, not the party.

As a past president of the North Vancouver-Capilano Conservative Association, I would like to point out that this is nonsense. MPs do not win their elections alone. They win because hundreds of card-carrying party members nominate them, door knock to engage households and identify supporters, fundraise and donate to the local riding, hold coffee klatches for the candidate, and put signage up leading to the election.

On election day, these volunteers put in hours and hours of their personal time to “get out the vote.” They drive supporters to the polls, phone supporters to ensure they have voted, ensure canvassing and signage near polling stations comply with the Elections Act, and scrutinize the ballot count to ensure fair ballots are counted and ineligible ballots are not.

Letters: Floor-crossers guilty of political breach of trust

Letters: With floor crossings, why do we even bother to vote?
